I was a student at one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the US, and undoubtedly, the world. I had been away on a medical leave of absence for a year after my first year and the school was giving me a difficult time getting back in. I contacted several lawyers, consulted with quite a few, all to have each and every one of them say there was nothing that could be done to get this institution to allow me to continue at that point in time. I had to do what the school asked. In the mix of lawyers contacted was Mr. Ricotta's firm. One morning, soon after I had left that message on their answering machine (I had left the message on a holiday), Mr. Ricotta called me back. Both Mr. Ricotta and Mr. Marks treated me with respect, and as a human being, not just as a client. They talked me through the whole process, gave me good advice and got the job done! It was smooth sailing for me, and I am sure that this was all because they worked hard for me. To go head-to-head with this school is no mean task. They have some of the best lawyers money can buy, but this firm came through and worked without the least hint of apprehension when all others turned me down. Today, almost a year from when this all happened, I can proudly say I am a graduate of this prestigious institution, all thanks to Mr. Ricotta and Mr. Marks!

Matt is extremely thorough and professional. He has completely put my mind at ease by ensuring trust and keeping me in the loop throughout every change in effect. I feel very much protected and supported by his and his team. In my opinion, it doesn't get any better than any Matt. Hire him b/c he is simply the best and I promise you will be satisfied with the work performed.

Richard Roth is the consummate attorney. The scope and depth of his legal knowledge, courtroom and negotiating skills in commercial litigation has impressed me for the many years I have known him on a professional basis. If you are ever in need of a sharp, insightful and aggressive litigator, he is the one to call. His results speak for themselves!

To be perfectly clear I do not think that there is a smarter more effective litigator in the country. He has not represented me and won in federal court litigations, but also large scale arbs, and achieved results in both, as well as mediations, that well exceeded my wildest expectations. In a world drowning with lawyers, Richard truly sets himself apart not just by his superior work but the fact that he genuinely cares about his clients as people. He has fought for me with all of his heart ( literally ) and for the past 16 years I have chosen only Richard as my go to, trusted attorney. I have also referred him a MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BUSINESS and they are equally as satisfied.

If I could put 1000 stars I would! Mr. Eric is so understanding and communicates in the best way possible. During the consulting call he told me the laws and possibilities for my speeding ticket and what he might be able to get it reduced to THEN we talked about his fees. He didn’t rush my payments and reassured me of everything, every step of the way

I called Ms. Ekaterina Berman to consult with a case, and she provided excellent consultation even she didn't have time to take my case.
She listens really well. She gets my point immediately, and gets to her point clearly. The communication was very professional and easy.
She offered her professional take on the case and on my concerns, even I haven't hired her. She does not just care about money. She said, to save the time and money, what is the good way to proceed instead of forcing me a case to open and hire her.
Although I didn't end up with working with her on my case, I feel only someone who is good at what he/she is doing can do practice and work in the way Ms. Ekaterina Berman does. So I feel this is outstanding from others in the business, and it should be made aware to anyone who seeks for help and service.

"I am an experienced paramedic, with awards and decorations, with over 20 years of experience. Recently I was terminated from my empowerment through no fault of my own. I had applied for unemployment compensation and was denied. I reached out to Attorney Lasko . After a through and extensive consultation with Attorney Lasko, where he was able to analyze my termination and give me a firm understanding of what my legal rights were as to wrongful termination and unemployment benefits, I retained Attorney Lasko. Attorney Lasko was able to put together an highly effective letter that was sent to my former employer which resulted in my re-employment and the winning of unemployment benefits in the appeal process that covering unemployment benefits for the time I was out of work.. Although it is Attorney Lasko’s policy not to guarantee results, the results he obtained for me through keen insight, quick action, and years of tempered experience as he negotiated with my former employer were beyond any expectation I may have had.
Results speak and Attorney Lasko delivered!
I recommend Attorney Lasko without reservation!

Attorney Lasko was one of three attorneys referred to me by Outten & Golden. I hired Attorney Lasko, because he was prompt and proactive. He helped devise an exit strategy from my former employer, then navigate through the separation, which was done so amicably. Moreover, I was able to successfully secure the maximum severance package allowable from my former employer on the terms that I desired. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I have able to remain on good terms with my former employer. This was a win-win situation. I highly recommend Attorney Lasko.

Let’s be honest... no one wants to need an attorney, ever!
However, if you do, as we did, this is THE only firm to consider on LI. From partners, Rob and Sarah, to junior attorneys, associates and support staff, their services are simply unmatched.
And wowza! There’s even a real human, extremely competent, receptionist that answers the telephone. No push this and speak that and try to muddle thru some silly automated phone system; a consistent personal, caring approach to business at every level.
Rob Valli is thorough, on point and straight forward, mixed with kindness and compassion. Don’t mistake his kindness for weakness, tho! He can be a “bulldog”, if necessary and definitely precisely when needed. make no mistake, he knows his business and gets the job done.
There’s no “sugar coating“ and telling you what you want to hear, refreshing! He, and his associates at every level, provide everything you need and want on your side. Strong communication skills are a must for me and they deliver information clearly and concisely. Always, in a professional and succinct comprehensive manner. They know lay of land on LI and have the skill set to get job done.
Recently, I was asked how I know Rob when referring him, again. I paused... just for a moment and said “...Rob is my friend!”. I suddenly realized I do consider him my friend. I trust him implicitly, he’s kind, thoughtful and adds a true human element. It’s exactly what we all want and need when we unfortunately find we need an attorney. What more would you ask for in a friend!?
I’d use Rob for any and all legal needs and highly recommend him, and his firm, to anyone looking for a complete legal team package. It simply doesn’t get any better.
Don’t look any further, he and his colleagues are it!

Rob and his partners are the most amazing attorneys to work with. They give a whole new meaning to lawyers. They are extremely caring about their clients, make you feel like they are solely working for you. I could never see using another firm again. They are the best and brightest!

Ethan is a very thorough and competent professional. I gave notice to my company that I was leaving for a competitor and two days before my last day, the Company decided to take issue with where I was going. They tried to have me sign various documents before I left that would encumber my ability towork. They claimed that I had already signed documents years ago but they could not produce them to me. Ethan immediately got involved and in a professional manner, he worked with the Company's attorney to work out an exit plan. He also spoke with my new employer to make sure that they knew what was going on and that the matter was being handled. Most importantly, he made sure that both companies were comfortable with my actions and knew that I acted with integrity. I felt he always had my best interest in mind. It is my privilege to recommend Ethan Zelizer, a phenomenal lawyer, who delivered a good result. Tremendous value. He practices the best client service methods. 5 stars.

Ethan was professional, responsive, and understanding of my legal issues. Ethan resolved my issues promptly and efficiently, which I very much appreciated. Being a lawyer myself, I understand how important it is to find a lawyer who has both fantastic legal skills and empathy- Ethan has both. Ethan connects with his clients because he truly cares about helping them through their legal issues. I would recommend Ethan to anyone with an employment law issue. Ethan went above and beyond by also giving me tips and offering to help in any way possible with starting my new law firm!

Ravi is a top-notch attorney. Very knowledgeable in the Heggstad petition and helped me so much during the process. He checked in often & kept me informed during the process. His cost was incredibly reasonable. I had two other consultations before I chose Ravi and I couldn't have asked for more. If you're in doubt, don't, hire him, you won't regret it.

Navigating the sale of my business was one of the most stressful experiences I’ve faced, but Vincent Tong of TONG LAW made it manageable and even seamless. Vincent helped me establish a thorough strategy, drafted necessary contracts that protected my interests and walked me through each step of the process, ensuring I understood all the details. Vincent is also an expert in the area of employment law; Vincent helped me with a separate situation with an employer. Vincent's expert advice and calm, steady counsel turned what could have been an overwhelming ordeal into a smooth and successful transaction. Thanks to his guidance, I felt confident and assured every step of the way. If you are a business owner, especially one who is considering buying or selling a business, or if you are an employee or employer dealing with an employment issues, I can’t imagine a better legal partner than TONG LAW. :)

The journey through the immigration process seemed daunting and choosing an attorney seemed perhaps even more daunting.
After a first consultation with Kevin,
the process just appeared very straightfoward.
All the information he gave was clear and concise, bringing alot of needed reassurance.
He consistently remained accessible during the entire process with upmost patience answering any new questions that would arise.
There we're some complex aspects to my case that required in depth law expertise and Kevin went above and beyond to finalize brilliantly!
I couldn't have found a better attorney!
For the success of my applications but also for the extra kindness demonstrated along the way.
I also want to mention how Immigrating is and can be a very costly journey to embark on. Affordability and unseen costs we're a concern. I have appreciated that Kevin kept all fees transparent and consistently fair from go to finish!
I think he could charge more in regards of his time offered, so many other attorneys do so ruthlessly but this too reflects kevin's integrity and dedication to helping others.
I classify Kevin in the world of attorneys as a rare gem and find.
He's been a blessing on my journey 🙏

I had a fantastic experience working with Chris Suffecool as my employment lawyer.
From our initial consultation, Chris provided quality advice and was transparent about whether I had a legitimate case worth pursuing. He was prompt in responding to all my questions, making the whole process smooth and stress-free.
Chris's friendly and professional demeanor made him easy to communicate with, and I felt he genuinely cared about the success of my case rather than just the financial aspect.
In the end, Chris's expertise and negotiation skills led to a very positive outcome with a successful settlement offer. I highly recommend Chris Suffecool for anyone seeking a reliable and effective employment lawyer.

I had some real problems with my employer. I went to Mike and he straightened everything out! I can't believe how quickly he was able to unravel the mess that I was in. I only wish that I would have gone to see him earlier. I would have saved myself a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety. Next time he will be the first person I call.

I had the misfortune of needing an attorney with experience in employment and civil rights law. Through word of mouth and recommendations from several acquaintances, Shereef Akeel took on my case. He handled it with strong conviction and dedication that was refreshing. I could not be more pleased with his representation. Mr. Akeel was always reachable, even on weekend and even when he was abroad! He always got back to me promptly and attended to my concerns and my case with utmost professionalism and expertise. Even after the case was resolved, he remained prompt, easily reachable and attentive.
I recommend him without reservation!

I have no idea how a poor, black man convicted of murder in Lancaster, PA was fortunate enough to have attorney John M. Masslon, Esq. appointed by the court to successfully argue how inneffective every prior court-appointed counsel was and finally get him PCRA relief in the form of a new trial. Nor do I know the defendant or this lawyer and I take no position on his guilt or innocence. But I just did a deep dive on Google Scholar based on a newspaper article and read all the appeals. If not for Mr. Masslon's exceptional appellate skills, the defendant might rot in jail forever for lack of a good lawyer. If all court-appointed lawyers in PA were as diligent and effective from the get-go, the taxpayers would save a lot of money, the court system would not be as clogged, there would be no professional conflicts of interest to worry about, and the integrity of the PA judicial system would not be called into question as often as it is. Bravo, sir. Law as it should be: Fair, honest, ethical and just.

Discrimination cases may arise in employment, housing, education, public accommodations, or other settings.
Whether you’ve been discriminated against at work, denied housing, or treated unfairly in other areas of life, a discrimination lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and seek compensation or corrective action.

What Does a Discrimination Lawyer Do?
A discrimination lawyer provides a range of legal services to help individuals and groups fight against discriminatory practices. Their responsibilities often include:
- Filing discrimination claims: A lawyer can help you file a complaint with government agencies, such as the EEOC, HUD, or your state’s human rights commission. They ensure that your claim is properly documented and filed within required time limits.
- Investigating discrimination claims: Discrimination lawyers gather evidence, interview witnesses, and review documents to build a strong case for proving discriminatory practices.
- Negotiating settlements: In many cases, a lawyer can negotiate a settlement with the employer, landlord, or other party involved in the discrimination case, seeking compensation or corrective action without going to trial.
- Representing clients in court: If your case goes to court, a lawyer will represent you during hearings, present evidence, and argue your case before a judge or jury.
- Handling retaliation claims: If you face retaliation for filing a discrimination complaint or reporting discriminatory practices, a lawyer can help you pursue a retaliation claim.
- Advising on legal rights: A discrimination lawyer explains your legal rights under federal and state anti-discrimination laws, such as Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, the ADA, the Fair Housing Act, and others.
How Are Discrimination Lawyers Paid?
Discrimination lawyers typically charge for their services based on the complexity of the case and the expected duration of the legal process. Common payment structures include:
- Contingency fee: Many discrimination lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Their fee is usually a percentage of the settlement or court award, typically ranging from 25% to 40%.
- Hourly rate: For cases that don’t involve a contingency fee arrangement, some lawyers charge by the hour. Hourly rates for discrimination lawyers generally range from $200 to $600 or more, depending on the lawyer’s experience and the case’s complexity.
- Flat fee: For simpler legal tasks, such as drafting a discrimination complaint or providing legal advice, some lawyers may charge a flat fee.
- Pro bono or reduced fees: Some discrimination lawyers offer pro bono (free) or reduced-fee services, especially in cases involving low-income clients or significant civil rights issues.
It’s important to discuss fee arrangements during your initial consultation to ensure that you understand the total cost of legal services and how payment will be handled.
How Much Does a Discrimination Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a discrimination lawyer depends on factors like the complexity of the case, the lawyer’s experience, and the potential for a settlement or trial. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fees: If the lawyer works on a contingency basis, their fee will typically range from 25% to 40% of any settlement or court award. For example, if you win a settlement of $50,000 and the lawyer’s fee is 30%, they would receive $15,000, and you would keep the remaining $35,000.
- Hourly rates: Discrimination lawyers who charge by the hour typically bill between $200 and $600 per hour. For example, a case that takes 20 hours of legal work at $300 per hour would cost $6,000 in legal fees.
- Flat fees: Some legal services, such as filing a discrimination complaint or providing a legal consultation, may be available for a flat fee ranging from $500 to $2,500, depending on the complexity of the task.
- Pro bono or sliding scale fees: In some cases, particularly for low-income individuals, lawyers may offer reduced fees or work pro bono.
Always ask for a detailed estimate of costs during your consultation, and clarify whether the lawyer offers flexible payment options.

- Check their bar status: Verify that the lawyer is licensed to practice law and in good standing with the state bar association. You can check this on your state bar’s website.

- Workplace or housing records: Bring copies of relevant employment or housing documents, such as job performance evaluations, rental agreements, emails, or written correspondence related to the discrimination.
- Company or organization policies: If the discrimination occurred in the workplace or housing, bring copies of company policies, employee handbooks, or housing agreements that outline anti-discrimination policies.
- Evidence of damages: Provide evidence of any financial losses, such as lost wages, job termination, or increased rent, as well as emotional or psychological distress caused by the discrimination.
- Previous complaints or actions: If you’ve filed previous complaints or taken any action related to the discrimination, such as reporting the issue to HR or filing a complaint with a government agency, bring copies of those documents.

By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your situation more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice for pursuing your discrimination claim.
